Obie Trice - Loot

Obie Trice has been quiet since May, when he stepped into the Booth with LP cut Bang, but an inveterate hustler like the Motown representative can't stay dormant for long. Today, he returns to the hustle with Loot, a hard-nosed jam chronicling his neverending quest for paper. D12's Denaun Porter handles production on this street-ready cut, crafting a grimy chopped-sample beat to back Trice's block talk. His instrumental is accented by snippets from 2Pac's Caught I Had To (“I need the loot.”) and Bone Thugs' Foe Tha Love of $ (“Aw, man, here come the crooked ass cops.”). Obie's Hang Over LP is scheduled to drop in January 2014 via Black Market Ent. In the meantime, of course, you can keep it locked for further song releases off the set.
